The Spanish Fly, Pedrito has been a success since he arrived at Stamford Bridge after a Barcelona career filled with trophies but one where he always played second fiddle to the team’s main men; Messi and Co.

At Chelsea, he has become one of the team’s go-to guys and was an important member of the Blues team that swept aside all opposition to clinch the league title last season.

A versatile forward-thinking player who is ambidextrous (able to use both feet equally well), Pedro functions effectively anywhere in the front line and is a coach’s favourite due to his mazy running, competitive nature, team ethic and knack for scoring/assisting.

He is now into his third season in the English top-flight and his scorecard so far reads 70 games played, 17 goals and 12 assists.
